Architect

Logo Wagner Zaun Architecture offers design, research, and consulting with specialization in residential and community-based projects that are unique, energy-efficient and conservation-minded. We've pursued knowledge in building science, and have become increasingly adept at energy analysis of our designs. Our team continues to study energy-efficient, resource-efficient design in the U.S., Canada, and Europe. We combine our focus on energy efficiency with a broader view of the environmental implications of both energy use and materials and methods used in building. We use our skills to create environmentally responsible designs, using materials and methods readily available, and relatively easy to measure and duplicate. And with our process-intensive approach to design, attention is always paid to the creation of comfortable, inviting, habitable spaces.
